I don't know if it varies depending of your visa type (dont' see why it should). I have just been granted a prospective marriage visa. Sent passports Friday 23rd. Passports arrived back Thursday 29th.

Hope that helps

you dont need stamps in passport to travel to oz on a 175 visa. you can just go to the local DIMIA office when you arrive and get it done then.

However you should be aware that this may cause you hold-ups at check-in and again at Immigration this end while the verify the visa details with DIAC.
